"I receive more than I give..." — Sutter Care at Home hospice
volunteer

If you are looking for a way to give back to your community, you already have the
special skills you need to become a hospice volunteer at Sutter Care at Home. The
greatest gift you can offer is your time, your caring nature and your willingness
to listen.

Volunteers are an important part of our team of nurses, social workers, home health
